    Gender and future color of these seramas

    I have a group of chicks from a recent hatch and I'm guessing genders and possible colors. They are all a month old today. This one below is a Serama. Pullet or Cock? The one on the left is a Modern Game Bantam. The other is the Serama from above. This is another month old Serama from the...

    Ideas on cheap round pens, anybody?

    That's excellent. It really helps with confidence when you see a little try. Good luck! Slow progress is solid progress. Best thing to remember is you will make a forward step one day, and two backwards steps the next but always know it will get better everyday.

    Ideas on cheap round pens, anybody?

    What exactly is the issue that requires a round pen on a non-green horse? Have you re-started the horse on ground work.

    A useful idea for coop/run in perches

    Aha! So that would be the answer to something I said in the OP. I was worried about it sharp claws on kids when out with friendly chickens. So I had nothing to worry about :) That's actually a good thing. Bubble bursted!

    Possible air cell detachment damage. Day 5 in bator.

    Bump. I'm still in the dark. Though I do apologize about the bad grammar in my last post and all future posts.

    Possible air cell detachment damage. Day 5 in bator.

    I might have some detached air cells in shipped serama eggs I already set. I set them about 5 days ago and candled today to find some moving air cells in there. Is it too late to set them big end up? 8 of the 12 look really good with decent veining. The other four look blank or have that moving...

    Candling - 6, 12 , 20 ,40 or more!

    I don't think it takes too long. You could always do a dozen or so at a time. Just pencil numbers or letters on your batches.

    A useful idea for coop/run in perches

    Good call. It would be much easier to strip it on flat surface. If you decide to do it, pics and let us know if it helps! :D

    A useful idea for coop/run in perches

    that was the plan :) I'm well versed in parrot keeping and grooming. As a groomer, I've had regulars with parrots, ferrets and even 4ft long nile monitor lizards (we taped his mouth shut and someone had to hold the tail XD). I think the main idea here would be to get the bird to use the perch...

    A useful idea for coop/run in perches

    I was thinking about what type of perch to build while I was planning my new coop today. As a former dog groomer, I always think about overgrown claws. I hear that OEGB like to perch on their person's arm and/or shoulder. I thought about building a perch equipped with a fine sand paper strip at...

    I do have a question actually. How many chicks can be held comfortably in a 24" x 24" plexi glass stall?

    Salutations from Northern IL

    Thanks again everyone. I still have 13 eggs that I deemed "OK". My weather seems to affect the interior of my house more than expected so my poor still air bator is probably struggling along. I recently just figured out why that empty roll of tape came with the bator. I feel dumb and hope I...
